With Jason Lee and Hannah Johnson leading the way, we head straight to the office floor, also, I too have my own office studio in here. That is where we were heading right now, after the renovations, or even after I bought the building, this is the first time that I visited here. The whole process were dealt by Park Zuo Yung on my behalf, I just spend the money and funds to have everything made.“Worried?..why?…I don’t think there’s should be any problem right now…after all, you all just hang around here and sometimes help with the Main Headquarter on some matter….you all basically got your monthly pay check, while doing almost nothing…”.“Hahaha….actually that is mostly the reason why…we were all paid..quite a lot for basically doing nothing everyday…so….that’s why..”. (Branch Director Jason Lee)Jason Lee said as he was scratching the back of his head awkwardly. Hannah Johnson were also squirming around for the same reason. When we got to the top floor, my office studio were here on
I must say that, sometimes for me it felt good to hang out with the people that knows what I meant from the get go. Although I am a person with a rather unusual background, I have been in a military service, and dwelling in the underground world of the criminals as one of the world top assassin. I loved comics, games and arts in general, because to me they not only stress relievers to me, but also a thing that I find it easy for me to immerse myself into and lost myself in that moment and forget what is going on around me.But right now, after I discovered my abilities of teleporting in between worlds. Fantasy world is no longer just a comics or games to me, but instead a reality that I am able to shapes through my mind and hard work, it is now my dedications to shape a fantasy world or in my context right now a nation, into my special mold. That is why I have decided to recruited so many artist inside Neko Games Studios, all of them that were on this office floor today, will become t
The entire hall went silent as I were speaking, an not a single person even speaks a words or even moving as I went on. Seeing their reactions I supposed, it’s a signal for me to keep continuing what I have been doing. Hence I started to prepared for the tasked that I were about to give to them, I just let, Janet behind me prepared the presentations of what I were about to say, actually before these I have prepared a back story about Fantasma and also Aeternum. Despite both of them were very real, thanks to the setting, and also since we were on earth, everything seems like a fantasy world that I just made up.“You all see here…this is the world that I called…Fantasma….it’s a world of Medieval fantasy…where there’s a swords, monsters, dragon…and everything that you can Imagine..magics too…I want you all to keep this in mind….these is the setting that I wanted….the vibes had to be maintained as it is…no matter what…”.With that I also shown them a multitude of image up on the screen pr
I did not hold back and goes into a full on briefing mode on what Aeternum is and what I am expect from it. Then on top of it, I clearly explained the directions that I wanted everything to developed. So in total, what I wanted for them to do is simple, designed and also developed anything and everything that I asked and on top of that I also wanted them to perhaps probably think of something that can help to the development of Aeternum.“I want you all..to not hold back on this…..give everything your vest shots…it does not matter what…if I like it…and I find it interesting….I will give that person that were able to do so a bonus….or a raise, or anything that I am capable to give it yo you…”.The basic setting of what I asked, is simple. Designed everything but, ultimately, it has to be a stayed on the fantasy setting themes that incorporated modern designed. It was up to their imaginations for them to remodel everything. And I will chose the final designed on everything, this is how
Every single person in the meeting room knows just how serious I was with this projects, and with my words of assurance wanting them to take this as a something that should not be taken lightly. Everyone is also now, taking these very seriously, despite the didn’t really know what will every single things that were on this projects will be used for, or how it will be use. They were taking this similar to the commission work, that all of them had experience in doing before in their career. Also with the rewards and the pay check that they have been receiving they know for certain that this is not something that they should mess around.“In all honesty…I want the design of this city to be made first…first of all, I want everything is clear…from the ambience, the road network and also the decorations of the city…although…currently..it seems like any modern city…I wanted it to be turned..into a fantasy modern theme…so for that…here is some reference that you can look for inspirations…”.I
Hannah Johnson who is just finished arranging the work load for the entire company of the Artist, she let me take a look at the list of teams that will undertake the task categories that I have allocated. Since the entire company has become a product designers for the entire Aeternum, which is a whole nation, naturally I had to divide the work loads. Since there is 10 team, Team 1 and 2 will be working on designing the entire Aeternum development design, be it towns, city or the road map, everything will be designed by them, I tasked them with the future development of the entire nation on the 2 teams. For This they will be name as the General Infrastructure Development team.For team 3 and 4, they will be the incharge of designing all of the Aeternum Technologies, mostly on the vehicles sides. They will be designing everything from the land vehicles all the way to the air transportation vehicles. Right now, every vehicles Aeternum were using all of them still retained the same outloo
With Hannah Johnson putting 3 teams into a single task, which is the Military Design Team, I am rather pleased with her arrangement, because when it comes to military, there is so much to do. Because unlike any other field, the military had to be uniformed on every single stuff, from the vehicles all the way to the uniform that everyone will wear on the daily basis. On top of that, I am relief to hear that Team 5,6 and 7 leaders, Miss Kaneko, Frank and Mike were enthusiast about their task, they even able to think about including the natives troops of the Fantasma.Which is something that have passed my mind, In Aeternum, just like any other medieval fantasy theme world, or on earth at least the manga and comics, there is so many varieties of profession existed, Swordsman, Knights, Warrior, Mages and healers, there were many of it, and so does in Fantasma. When Miss Kaneko and Frank speaks to me that I should considered about those profession I am rather pleased by it. Because now tha
I watched as Miss Kaneko, Frank and also Mike went away to their sections, while they were still discussing about everything related to their task, and all of them were very excited with their task. To my knowledge from what Hannah Johnson told me, Frank and Mike is someone that were considered as a Gun Otaku, or Miltary Otaku, both of them were actually not at all involved in a military or have done a service in a military, but both of them were very enthusiastic about everything that is related to military, from firearms all the way to it’s vehicles. Furthermore both of them had an experience as an artist for a military themed comics in their previous work. I trust that with them in charge of the task, they can surely do a magnificent work.“Okay..that already set aside…what is next…Fashion Design Team…Team 8…Mister Kim Yin Joong..”.“Ah Yes…This is Mister Kim Yin Joong…he is our expert in fashion design in the aspect of Comics and Manga theme…”.

Aeternum would continue to offer education, security, and infrastructure assistance—but always in a way that ensured we maintained our lead.We would teach them how to build schools, but we would own the publishing rights to the most advanced textbooks. We would help them create local militias, but they would still call for Aeternum troops when true threats loomed.We would help them modernize, industrialize, prosper—but they would know, always know, that Aeternum had already blazed the trail further ahead. I didn’t want vassals. I wanted allies who could never quite catch up—because they didn’t need to. They needed us to lead.I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve.If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The U
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
In New City, the public watched it all unfold on massive news screens and digital displays.A young woman in a coffee shop blinked back tears.“My mother couldn’t even sign her name,” she said. “Now, she’s going to school at sixty. Can you imagine?”A factory worker on break raised his can of iced tea. “They used to mock us for thinking machines would replace us. Now? My kid’s learning to design them.”Later that evening, President Mies stood at his office window in the Black House, overlooking a city glowing with lights and ambition.Minister Myers entered, holding the finalized signed charter.“It’s done,” he said quietly. “They all agreed. The future begins today.”Mies nodded. “We’ve unified their borders, their defense, and their markets,” he said. “Now, we unify their minds.”A long silence followed. Then, just a single line: “History will remember this moment.” And across the continent, it already had.The evening air was soft, almost languid, as I sat back in my chair, savorin
As the documents were sealed, cameras flashed and live broadcasts streamed the images of rulers shaking hands with President Mies—smiles genuine, eyes alight with purpose.The message to the world was unmistakable:Aeternum does not just lead with power—it leads with knowledge.Later, in a private conversation, Jonathan Myers turned to Mies.“This is more than we hoped.”Mies looked out the window of his office, where the UNA flags fluttered in a perfect row.“No,” he said. “This is exactly what I planned.”Jonathan raised a brow. “And what next?”Mies smiled faintly. “We teach the world… to think like us.”The central assembly hall of New Concordia UNA Headquarters—a gleaming white dome adorned with banners of thirty-one nations—had never been so full.Delegates filled every seat. National flags stood in perfect rows. The giant LED display behind the stage glowed with the symbol of the United Nation Alliance, now framed by a new banner in golden letters:"Education for All – A Future
Outside the palace gates, the citizens of Hallerus City buzzed with excitement. News traveled fast: another king had come, and he, too, had seen the truth.And far beyond the city walls, whispers began in other UNA courts:“Perhaps we should ask Queen Helen for assistance.”“Maybe Aeternum’s model isn’t just for them.”“Could we build this future too?”In the Black House of New City, when President Mies received the report of King Leopold’s visit, he simply closed the folder and smiled slightly."One seed sows a thousand trees," he murmured.And in the fields of Fantasma, the seeds of knowledge had already begun to sprout.The towering skyline of New City shimmered beneath a clear morning sky. It was a perfect day for diplomacy—and a historic one.Within the great glass-paneled east wing of the Black House, Aeternum’s political nerve center, a long oval table had been prepared. Security was tight, the air dignified, yet the atmosphere was distinctly welcoming. For today, President Mie
That evening, Queen Helen hosted a quiet reception for the UNA visitors. Modest food, strong Hallerian tea, and conversation flowed freely.“We’re not pretending it’s perfect,” Helen told them. “But we’re not pretending it’s impossible, either.”One observer raised a hand, smiling. “Would you be open to helping other nations start similar programs?”Helen looked to Merrica, then back to them.“Of course,” she said. “We’ve taken help. It would be wrong not to offer it.”It was the kind of answer that made diplomats take notes. And so, Hallerus—once a fractured kingdom cast in shadow—began to shine in a new light. Not as a symbol of power. But as a model of transformation. And as the scholars walked the streets of Hallerus City, alongside teachers and curious children, they quietly realized: The future wasn’t just being forged in Aeternum anymore. It was spreading.The scent of blooming gardenias filled the royal courtyard of Hallerus Royal Palace. The sun hung high above the battlement
“It’s… beautiful,” she said.Jonathan smiled. “It’s sure is,.”The first major step was the immediate conversion of six major city libraries into public education centers. Then came the pilot schools—one for each major region of the kingdom. Each staffed with a blend of local teachers (newly trained) and educational experts from Aeternum who came to oversee implementation.Within a month, Hallerus Elementary Schools opened their doors for the first time. Children from farming villages and mining towns, who had never once held a book of their own, were now reading stories about space, science, and society. They learned arithmetic on digital chalkboards and watched recorded lectures from Aeternum instructors. Classrooms were modest, but organized. Desks were salvaged, but steady.The change was jarring. But it was real. Queen Helen visited one of these pilot schools in the outskirts of Archenport. There, she saw barefoot children reciting alphabet lines. She watched a young girl raise h
Outside in the streets of New City, a mural was already being painted on the wall of a youth center—depicting two children, one Aeternian and one Hallerian, sitting together at a shared desk beneath the words:"Wisdom Unites What War Divides."The mural was uncommission—but no one was taking it down. From within the homes, classrooms, and council chambers of Aeternum, the message was clear: the world was learning, and they were learning from Aeternum.And that made the people walk taller.Because every road rebuilt in Hallerus, every classroom opened, every young mind taught in their system—was a quiet victory for Aeternum’s vision. The age of empires was ending. The age of influence had begun.The great hall of Hallerus Royal Palace hadn’t hosted a summit like this in over a generation. Not for war. Not for taxation. But for education.Long tables stretched beneath arched stone windows, newly adorned with fresh flags representing each province of the Hallerus Kingdom. The air smelled
